Indigenous Art Program



The last time Casey Coolwell’s artwork, Connections was projected onto the William Jolly Bridge, the photos went viral. So, in celebration of Holden State of Origin and Brisbane City Council’s Indigenous Art Program: Shared Connections, her work will be returning to the bridge from 4–8 June, 5:30–10:00 pm nightly.

Casey Coolwell is a Quandamooka, Nunukul woman from Minjerribah with links to Eulo and the Bini people of Bowen. She is an Aboriginal artist and self-taught graphic artist who now runs a successful freelance company, Chaboo Designs. Casey has created artworks for many well-known organisations including Menzies School of Health Research, Sentencing Council Queensland and Queensland Performing Arts Centre.

Across our lands we have many countries. Travelling through different countries we must pay respect and acknowledge the traditional owners of the land we are visiting or passing through. Casey’s artwork represents the connections made between the communities and countries through which we travel.

Brisbane City Council’s Indigenous Art Program, curated by Blaklash Projects, is running until 31 July 2019. Join an artist talk, a panel discussion or guided walking tour to learn more about the artists and artworks.
